Christmas Vanilla Sugar Cookies – a new recipe
It just isn't Christmas without sugar cookies, but one thing that has bugged me for a long time is the blandness of them. Just white sugar and flour for the cookie, and no flavor to the icing. So, I set about making a sugar cookie that keeps the essence of a sugar cookie, but has …
